Where would Optimus Prime be without his archenemy, Megatron? Fortunately that’s not a question we will need to answer just yet, because courtesy of the 2005 Heads on a Stick desk, we have an image of a prop used during the Transformers 3 filming in Chicago featuring the evil Decepticon leader’s noggin! Like all the props we have been seeing, this is to assist the actors in acting and reacting to the robots who will be CGI’ed in later during post-production.
Maybe it is not much of a surprise that Megatron is returning for Transformers 3, since he was seen fleeing with Starscream at the end of Revenge of the Fallen. But this sighting confirms that Megatron will also be present in some form during the battle in Chicago alongside the other characters already seen on set in prop form or the form of stunt cars.

Indeed. All those heads on set are just to help the actors and probably won't be the final designs, except for the new robots like Shockwave and the other red head (Which I'm thinking is Hot Rod/Rodimus).

that face could just be a thing that the human cast can visulaize as megatron in TF3. The actual megatron face can look totally different in the TF3 movie.

I doubt it. I'm sure they want SOME consistency for the villain.
Waveride
Oh no doubt about that unless he once again changed form.

I think it's just a placeholder. I think that we're going to get Megatron in TF3 just like he was in ROTF, maybe slightly updated.

This first movie head. Period.
Doesnt mean a thing though, he'll have his updated head from rotf or even a new one for tf3, they just printed out the wrong head for the stick.

somehow to me that looks like a different face if you look under his left eye there are tiny triangles or thats not his real face sorta looks like first movie one.
j.a.f.o.
Actually, I think that's his TFTM head:

Isn't that just his ROTF head?

It would be sooo awsome in the fallen comes back to life and combines with megatron to make………….

Why would only the new actors need it? Everyone needs eye line, to know where to look to see the big CGI thing.

i think all these faces is actually optimus prime's collection;

maybe he doesnt wanna talk to same and carly. and has anyone stopped to think that maybe the head-on-a-stick props are only there for the brand new actors? (carly, new extras…ect)

Megatron Headsicle!

Megatron's design in RotF homages G1 Galvatron. He just didn't change his name because, frankly, Megatron's propensity to rename himself Galvatron at the drop of a hat has always been a bit stupid.
It was fine in TFTM. I haven't cared since.
Also, all you people who are speculating about Starscream's fate based on not seeing his cardboard yet…have you not learned your lesson from THIS thread?
